  1. Add Workflow Notes to Reading List Citation Slips

    Currently, Reading list citation slips are not configured to include Workflow Notes, which means processing instructions are not included on the pull slips and that information must be retrieved separately. It would expedite reading list processing to have Workflow Notes included in these slips (which currently include basic bibliographic information, call number, and bar code).

  2. Suggest Replacement feature - keep book extract or chapter information

    When using the Suggest Replacement feature for book extract or chapter citations, the data in the chapter and/or page range fields should be kept (rather than automatically deleted) if the suggestion is approved. When the suggestion is approved either from Leganto or Alma there should be an alert (like a pop-up box) to notify the user they may need to check the chapter/page range details on the suggested replacement.

    Alternatively, the user could be presented with an option to decide whether the chapter/extract information is kept or overwritten.

  3. Embed outside tools in Leganto

    Support embedding iframes in some areas of the Leganto UI so that additional relevant functionality from outside tools can be surfaced to end users.
    For example the Cite them right embeddable search bar https://search.citethemrightonline.com/

  4. Add style classes to citations imported to LMS editor

    When citations are imported to an LMS text editor using the LTI 1.3 integration, these are added as HTML code with basic formatting.

    Could the HTML elements which make up these citations have regular class attributes attached to them?

    If so, we could use CSS included in our LMS to consistently style these citations to match the rest of our learning content.

  5. Scheduling the dates of visibility of citations/attachments in NUI

    We want to limit the dates between which citations or attachments can be viewed/downloaded. This is available in the classic interface but not in the new one.

    It is usefulI when you (librarian or instructor) want to prepare the complete reading list at the beginning of the course, to set the dates on which citations/attachments will be made visible to users. This is good when your course works with case studies in a big way, for example.
    In this situation, or similar, it is important because you are working with materials which students have to download and you don't want…

  6. Reading List Bulk Update job - reset copyright status

    Given that the Reading List Bulk Update job is designed to reset all fields within the reading lists, it is essential to incorporate an option to reset the copyright status as well.

  7. Categorize "Related items" in new UI

    In the old interface, when adding a physical edition of a book, you can check "Other formats and editions" in the right-hand side panel.
    Existing editions are separated into "Electronic versions" and "Other editions".

    However, in the new UI, both electronic and physical editions are mixed and presented in one single list. If there are many editions of a book and the instructor is only looking to add an electronic version to a citation, then the many editions make it hard to quickly identify the few electronic versions.

    The list would be more readable if electronic and physical formats were…

  8. Option to Hide Watch button when a citation YouTube video is not available to play outside of YouTube

    The new UI allows users to watch YouTube videos from the citation level so the user does not have to link out to another window. If the video owner does not allow the video to play outside of YouTube, users will receive an error (refer to attached screenshot). It would be nice if it were possible to have the option to hide the 'Watch' button for instances where the YouTube video will not play outside of YouTube.

  9. Set location for physical reserves in request

    It would be helpful within Leganto for instructors to determine at either the course or the citation level which pickup location they want their course materials to reside. For libraries with central processing groups that manage multiple physical locations, we cannot always rely on faculty to put a note in the request.

  10. A designated field for E-locators in citations

    We would like a separate field for e-locators in Leganto citations.

    The publisher's use of this identifier is increasingly common, and included in several reference styles, such as APA. Today, the e-locator appears in the page number field, which can be confusing. The field should also be included in the export to RIS and to reference managers like Endnote.

    A designated e-locator field would also be useful for Primo displays.

  11. Leganto discussion additional improvements (new UI)

    It would be helpful if we could have additional features in the Leganto discussion functionality:

    • Predefined messages for library staff to define and select when adding a discussion note (via Configuration > Leganto > Customer Labels).
    • The ability to attach a document.

    These would assist in communication with instructors.

  13. Add additional text under section headings in templates in new UI

    In the classic UI we created a bilingual template that included guidance notes for both instructors and students under each section heading. We would like the option to be able to create this template in the new UI, but we can only create section headings.

  14. More file type options for Reading List bulk export

    At the moment it's possible to bulk export Reading Lists by running the job called 'Reading List Bulk Update' and selecting 'Export to PDF'.

    Would be beneficial if we can export to other types such as .lgn or .ris. As those files would serve better as 'baclups' and can also be imported back into Leganto

  15. When creating a new list, provide sort options for numbered templates

    Some instructors want to create lists that show the most recent content first, so that their students can easily access the current week’s resources. For example, in a 12-week semester, they divide the list into sections by week and list them in reverse order (i.e. Week 12, Week 11, Week 10, etc.). They release each section at the start of the corresponding week, so that students can focus on the relevant content.

    However, currently there is no easy way to create such a list using a numbered template. The default order for the numbered template is ascending (i.e. Week 1,…

  16. Usability of Favorites especially in LTI view - Suggest from right panel

    Using the LTI view the left menu (Lists and Favorites) is invisible which confines the view to the context of the LMS site the user is in. I can see why we would want to do that. However, it has the effect of making it virtually impossible for educator or student to be able to use their favorites.

    Scenario: Educator adds a citation to their list in the LTI view, then decides it is so good they want to add it to their other lists. They copy it to their favorites.... then what! (They could just copy to other lists,…

  17. Filter to mirror Primo VE Availability facet

    When a user searches via Primo VE they have the option to filter using a facet title Availability, which contains values such as "Held By Library" and "Available Online"

    We would like to suggest Leganto receives similar functionality using the filter option which currently lets a user narrow down based on Section, Tag, Type and Other.

    This would allow uses to easily and quickly narrow the citations on a reading list to those available online, without the need for the library to tag each citation.

  18. In Analytics (Leganto Student Usage subject area), possibility to query Statistical Category X fields under Student Details

    (initially filled by the « Statistical Category X » fields from the Users subject area).

    Right now, to get data about the usage of a reading list by students, we need to query the fields which are only available under the dimension « Student details » of the « Leganto student usage » subject area. Those fields are filled only after signing the Ex-Libris form « Leganto student success measurements service ».
    It would be interesting that the statistical category fields only could be filled in order to extract statistical analyses without having to know the students identity. Therefore it…

In the results list of “Import references from Mendeley” and “Import references from Zotero, however, this information is not displayed. We would appreciate if the position would be indicated in these lists, too. Relevant Support Case: 07013368
